About Chantelle
‘Lo. I’m a slightly unusual girl: I rarely turn on the TV; I buy books in languages I cannot read; I use semicolons. I’m also a historienne with a penchant for stationery and old violins. My summer plans include moving across an ocean to a country 6000 miles away… It’ll be fun. Who cares if I’m young, naive, and can’t speak the language fluently? I’m getting older; I’m not that naive (I’m rather clever); I can speak the language well enough (I’m a polyglot-in-training).
Nothing irks me more than being mediocre. I cherish sincerity. I want to excel; I want to work hard. High standards? Yes, I have those. Big dreams? Yes, I have those too. Ebullience? Yep. Success? It’s coming? I gotta’ think positive—I’m an optimist, but even if I’m not successful… I still want to work hard.

Domain Name
Callistonian.net - I love words with aerial/celestial sounds and connotations. Callisto is Jupiter’s most gorgeous moon. The term Callisto is Latin, from Greek Kallist, perhaps from kallistos, superlative of kalos. Kalos means beautiful (dictionary.com).
Tagline
where always it’s spring) - e.e. cummings is one of my favorite poets; one of my favorite poems of his is “who knows if the moon’s.” Callistonian.net’s tagline, where always it’s spring), is a line from that poem. I love spring; I’m frightfully optimistic and blithe. I think that the tagline fits.
